Passionate & Creative Educator for the Humanities and the Arts

Shea S.

I have a strong academic prowess in the humanities and the arts, having earned my Bachelor of Arts in Dance with a Minor in Entrepreneurship from Chapman University in 2020. My education provided a strong foundation in discipline, creative thinking and collaboration. Through my coursework, I developed strong communication skills and a deep understanding of storytelling, design, and movement - all of which I now apply in both my tutoring and creative work.

I have also been a dance educator for over seven years, providing students with anatomical information catered to their learning style. Whether it be visual, kinesthetic or auditory, I am well-versed in adapting to students' needs and learning preferences.

In addition to my undergraduate studies at Chapman, I also worked as a Graphic Designer for the Office of Student Engagement. That role gave me hands-on experience in branding, visual communication, and project coordination. Since then, I’ve worked as a designer for a range of companies and individuals across industries. I am qualified and capable of bringing graphic design education to students of all ages.

My background as a professional dancer also gives me a unique edge - I’ve performed in high-level productions including the Grammy Awards, Academy Awards, American Music Awards, and have performed with artists like Sam Smith, Jennifer Lopez and Paula Abdul. Working alongside renowned choreographers and artists has taught me how to thrive in fast-paced environments that require precision, adaptability, and strong teamwork. These experiences have sharpened my ability to communicate clearly, take direction well and bring energy and intention to everything I do - skills that translate directly into my work with students.

I hope to connect more about you or your student's needs!
